i know i said i would blog about the rest of my europe trip, and i will. just not now.. havent found myself in the blogaboutexcitingeuropeadventures mood yet. so please be patient (:
anyway lately i have been clearing out my stuff in preparation to move (yes, Finally) and hoho! what should i come across but my four piles of jc stuff, carefully dated and filed in chronological order, complete with filled in blanks and exclusive, highly entertaining scribbles by various people bored at some point in time in lt one. so of course i had to flip through everything, read a bit.. and in the process, i realised.. i have gotten dumber from jc!!!! do you remember walking around chanting glyphosate inhibits 5 enol pyruvate shikimate-3-phosphate (synthase), Streptococcus hygroscopicus inhibits glutamine synthase pathway in Basta, or mugging the use of Bacillus thuringiensis in insect resistant Bt crops? do you remember how to interconvert organic compounds with dry ether and all those other make-yamkhoon-happy reagents? things like that.
i don't know about you, but i always tell myself that someday i will sit down and reread all these things and feel smart again. but i can't even do that anymore, due to the Return of the Evil Brother whose middle name is Throw. so now all my stuff has to be given away or sent to paper recycling. oh lucky those humans who get them!
in other irrelevant news, my grandma (well and back from hospital, thanks for all the concern (:) has been having numerous dreams of my dog, with one particularly disturbing one brought to my attention today. apparently she dreamt that tiny was eating and eating something nonstop, and she became damn bloated and everything and Died. actually it was longer than that la, but gist is above. so when tiny's kibble got delivered today, and we had nowhere to store all twenty kg of it and were contemplating leaving them outside ie. within reach of the tiny, my mom was like 'oh maybe mama's dream will come true!' YA. k. thanks mom.
